Homework Statement



I'm given a relativistic Boltzmann gas and told to find the entropy

Homework Equations



[tex]\epsilon = pc[/tex]
p = 3d momentum
c = speed of light

The Attempt at a Solution



I tried to start by finding the partition function, from which I can just take the derivative, but I don't know how I would sum the energies. Would I merely use p=hw/2*pi summed over all frequencies from 0 to infinity?
